How Many Fermenters do You Have?

3- 6.5 glass fermenters
2- 6.5g bucket
2- 6g Better Bottles
1- 5g Better Bottle
1- 5g glass carboy

I'm probably going to get 2 more of the 6.5 and 5g BB's or the wide mouth bubblers. Need them for my now addictive sour beer production.

 

FermentErs (workErs): yeast
FermentOrs (wOrk place): carboys...buckets...conicals...LBKs

Just sayin'

 

4-6gal carboys
1-5gal carboy
1 7.5 gal bucket

Most of the fermentErs do their wOrk in the 6gal carboys though. I use the bucket more for maple sugaring than brewing and I only use the 5gal carboy if I do a lager.

 

I have three 6 gallon glass carboys, one 5 gal BB, and one 7.5 gal bucket. I would rather the glass carboys be BB, but I got a screaming deal on them used from a friend. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but not as much as the BB. Reason being the BB is lighter and easier to clean with the larger opening.

 

1 12.2 gallon stainless conical
2 6.5 gallon carboys
6 or 7 plastic buckets
3 5 gallon carboys
The glass all sits on shelves, I only use them for long term aging.
I still use the 2 original plastic buckets I started with in 1992, but I have changed the spigots on them 3 or 4 times since then.

 

2 6 gallon BB
1 7.9 gallon bucket
1 5 gallon corny currently being used as a fermentor
6 1 gallon jugs

 

Able to work under fermentation control. 2-6.5 gallon buckets and 1-1gallon glass bottle. (7.1 cf freezer only holds this amount only.)
Total available fermentation vessels available including the above. 4-6.5 gallon buckets. 1-6.9 gallon bucket. 2-2.5 gallon buckets and that little 1 gallon glass bottle. Soon I will be purchasing a large 24.9cf freezer for fermentation. I hate waiting to make more beer cause I want to make more cause my freezer is filled with kegs. Sorry didn't mean to ramble about that.

 

6x 6.5g (glass)
4x 5g (glass)
2x 3g (glass)
3x 6g (better bottles for sours)
3x 5g (better bottles for sours)

 

4 buckets, 1 5-gal better bottle, 1 5-gal glass carboy, 1 3-gal glass carboy, 4 or 5 1-gal jugs, 2 bottling buckets that could be used as primaries. However, they have never all been full and they have all been empty since September. I may need to reexamine those buckets for scratches and replace accordingly. Some are pretty old.

 

2-Buckets
2-5 gallon better bottles
2-3 gallon glass carboys (used to do 3 gallon batches before I started kegging)

1 bottling bucket that I could use as a primary... but probably never will. I rarely have 2 buckets full, so needing a third seems unlikely.

 

1x6.5gal glass carboy
2x5gal glass carboy
1x6gal plastic bucket (came in my original kit, don't use anymore)

I'm in a rare position right now where two are filled.

 

So far:
1 7.5 gl plastic bucket
1 6.5 gl bucket
1 3gl glass carboy and I plan on expanding that soon...

 

2- 6.5 gal buckets
1- 6 gal glass carboy
4- 1 gal glass former apple cider jugs
3- .75 gal glass former apple cider jugs (the cider was better from these)

 

Just two right now....well three if you count my bucket but I don't like to use it. Stupid phobia from bad beers in the past.
Got 6.5, and 5 gallon carboy.
I use my 6.5 gallon bucket to hold star san on brew day, then transfer it back to whatever carboy is open for long term storage.

I'm gonna need more fermentors soon if I get these berliners down pat.

 

4 - better bottles
2 - ale pales
1 - bottling bucket that I sometimes use to ferment.

 

2x 8 gallon buckets
6x 6 gallon Better Bottles
6x 5 gallon Better Bottles
11x 3 gallon Better Bottles

yeah, I bought a few more and retired one.

 

1 x 6.5 gal BB
1 x 5 gal BB
2 x 3 gal glass carboys.

Sadly, I usually only get to use one at a time due to time constraints on brewing.

 

1 7.9gal bucket
1 6.5gal bucket
1 6.5gal carboy
1 5gal carboy
1 3gal carboy

Buckets see the most primary action, and anything dry-hopped goes in a bucket. 6.5 gal carboy is for mostly for primary, but just saw some action for fruit aging. 5 gal is mostly for primary fermentation of smaller batches of bigger beers, but sees some use as a secondary for bulk storage. 3 gal is strictly for secondary of big beers.

One day I'll live in a house with a garage/basement and will get some more carboys so I can do some for real sours. As it is, the better half complains that I have too much in the apartment.
